The Use of Gastrografin in Chronic Radiation Enteropathy With Small Bowel Obstruction:A Retrospective Study

Chronic radiation enteropathy (CRE) is a major issue for long-term cancer survivors. The aim of this study was to clarify the diagnostic and therapeutic effect of the Gastrografin (GG) challenge for patients with CRE induced small bowel obstruction SBO.
